9362.0. "How configure printcap for printer using 7bits ..." by AUBER::MEYER (Christian MEYER: MCS Country Support) Wed Apr 02 1997 11:23

Hi everybody ,

How is it possible to configure the /etc/printcap file in order to set
the direct port to 7 bits , even parity , 1 stop bit ( for example ) ?

I know that I must modify the Flag Bits fc/fs and Mode Bits xc/xs ,
but how ?

I can't see how to set evenp , oddp , cs7 , cs8  , etc ...

The Flag Bits are :

OPOST		0000001		Enable output processing
ONLCR		0000002		Map NL to CR-NL
OLCUC		0000004		Map lower case to upper case
OCRNL		0000010		Map CR to NL
ONOCR		0000020		No CR output at column 0
ONLRET		0000040		NL performs CR function
OFILL		0000100		Use fill characters for delay
OFDEL		0000200		Fill is DEL ,else NUL
NLDLY		0001400		Newline delay
NL0		0000000
NL1		0000400
NL2		0001000
NL3		0001400
TABDLY		0006000		Horizontal tab delay
TAB0		0000000
TAB1		0002000
TAB2		0004000
TAB4		0006000
CRDLY		0030000		Carriage Return delay
CR0		0000000
CR1		0010000
CR2		0020000
CR3		0030000
FFDLY		0040000		Form feed delay
FF0		0000000
FF1		0040000
BSDDLY		0100000		Backspace delay
BS0		0000000
BS1		0100000
OXTABS		1000000		Expands tabs to spaces


The Mode bits are :

ECHOKE		0000001		Echos KILL by erasing the line 
ECHOE		0000002		Visually erase characters
ECHOK		0000004		Echoes NL after KILL
ECHO		0000010		Enable echoing
ECHONL		0000020		Echoes NL even if ECHO is off
ECHOPRT		0000040		Echo erased chars between and /
ECHOCTL		0000100		Echo control characters as ^(char)
ISIG		0000200		Enable special chars INTR,QUIT and SUSP
ICANON		0000400		Use canonical input
ALTWERASE	0001000		Use alternate word erase algorithm
IEXTEN		0002000		Enable FLUSHO and LNEXT
XCASE		0040000		Canonical upper/lower presentation


Under ULTRIX , we could set fs with :

EVENP		0000200		Even parity allowed on input
ODDP		0000100		Odd parity allowed on input

Thanks for help .
